Marikina burglary suspect falls

The Marikina City police arrested Monday night a burglary suspect long-wanted for a series of break-ins targeting affluent homes in the city.

Jimboy Bustillo, 22, was served an arrest warrant at a makeshift house on Molave Street, Barangay Parang, after a week of police surveillance.

According to Senior Insp. Glenn Aculana, chief of the Marikina police intelligence section, Bustillo was tagged in several burglaries in various subdivisions and he became the city’s most wanted man after the police successfully put the previous “Top 10” crime suspects behind bars, with the last arrested in December last year.

Bustillo actually resides on General Ordoñez Street also in Parang but he stays at a “safe house” on Molave Street for a few days after pulling off a burglary, Aculana said.

The warrant against him was issued by Judge Romeo Tagra of Marikina Regional Trial Court-Branch 273. Jovic Yee
